I managed to pick up a 1.2 meter Channel Master dish that had been in use on top of a building. The contractor remodeling the place was nice enough to spot my Craigslist ad and give me a call.
As I am already getting just about everything I need on ku from my 1m Winegard, I'm planning to put a C-band LNB on the Channel Master and use it for 99w. I've already had some success on 99w and the SatMex birds on the 1m dish, so I think the 1.2m should be able to perform.
The question is getting the LNB on the dish. I did a lot of reading around and saw a lot of home mods to get the LNB on there. But I also came across this solution from the UK:

Is anyone using this with a C-band LNB? And any recommendations on an LNB, or am I better off trying to get my existing LNB on the dish?
I'll be in the UK in a couple of weeks so can save on shipping if I decide to get it. Any thoughts?
I already have a DMX242, but it looks pretty cheaply made.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
